Great Idea ! Thanks for linking us to Dennis' nice myog link, Daren Now I have to find some surgical tubing. On a side note: does anyone know where to get Notangle guidelines on the cheap like Speers uses for his hammock rainfly. It is 1/16" spectra core with nylon sheath, 275 lb breaking strength, highly visible bright orange. The stuff is stiff/waxy like and is much easier to work with. He sells it for $26/100ft. Seems like you could find it cheaper, don't know, have not ever seen it locally.

I'm not sure why you would need to put 275# of tension on a rain fly. I picked up a fluorescent roll of 1/16 braided nylon masons twine at Harbor Freight for less than $4 for a couple hundred foot roll. If you need stronger, double it up.

Vibe, I have a roll of mason twine. What I really like about the spectra is how it is "tangle'free" almost , because it is kind of "stiff". and if it does get a little tangled up, it is easy to untangle.
